That's what prompted my question I think Bert.
When watching the star being guided by PHD there seemed a regular glitch in its motion. The scope was out of balance - DSLR had been replaced by the Toucam and I hadn't rebalanced in my rush to test out the autoguiding
I hope that's the cause.
As to backlash - there is the possibility of setting backlash, but I have no idea what figures to enter or know if the figures I enter relate to the backlash I have!!! QUE!!!!!!
Sounds Rumsfeldian!!!
I don't know what I know I don't know anymore
